That said, one argument is that Canada Post doesn't appreciate how irrelevant it's becoming since more than half of its business has either evaporated or been coopted over the last 20 years.
I don't know what's next for Canada Post but if they're hoping to stay around, there will be layoffs coming and rehires at a far lower rate after that. Just as the union is pushing for proper treatment for its members, it sincerely hope that it's also pushing the employer to bring its business into the 21 century.

I'll buy something that plays Saturn properly at some point, but until then, I don't get the need to have different versions of the same device.

After trying to build my collection from the ground up on my own, I eventually just caved and downloaded a 3TB file from a Usenet group that has everything configured. It ain't perfect, but I like that somebody else did the nitty gritty work for me.

Isn't it fair to assume that most cultural things in the new world somehow interfaced with racism?
I'm having a hard time understanding whether A) there's anybody left who would deny that bigotry was a large part of the colonial settler experience and B) why delegations that person X or Y wasn't likely a product of their time (and not ours) on some level.
